Is there anything you would change about this book?

This title presumes the reader already has an intimate understanding of the 30 years war, and this in my opinion is a tragic mistake.

Has The Thirty Years War turned you off from other books in this genre?

No.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I think so.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No, far too hard to follow for the average person.

Any additional comments?

This title was clearly written by someone who presumes that their readers are already familiar with the 30 years war, and what I was expecting was an in depth breakdown of the conflict. Sadly there is none of that. Very few battles are examined in great detail, and the title over all seams to be aiming for an audience that I simply don't think exists.

Not what I expected

Revisado: 12-17-16

It really baffled me how much time they spent talking about penile reconstruction. It was almost as if that's all the book was about. I didn't really enjoy this, and honestly the whole tone of the book felt very detached from reailty, as if the author though it was all some big buzzfeed article. I would not recommend this to anyone.

If you could sum up Building Great Sentences: Exploring the Writer's Craft in three words, what would they be?

Detail, extension, and retooling.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The most interesting aspect of this lecture series is probably its initial focus on extending your sentences. It goes into great detail on the subject, and really gets you thinking about how to approach each sentence you write. Not really a huge revelation, but still really interesting, and probably something you never thought too much about.

As for the least interesting part, well that would probably be the fact that its just too long. In the second half things start to get less and less interesting, to the point where I just zoned out and stopped really paying attention.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Some people just have a natural talent for captivating an audiences attention, and professors are generally not in that camp. He did an ok job. I'm not really sure he could have done anything to make it better.

What did you learn from Building Great Sentences: Exploring the Writer's Craft that you would use in your daily life?

Probably nothing, that is to say unless you're a writer or have a passions for writing. I guess if you wanted to explore or expand upon your writing this may have same daily use value, but I think its more directed at people who like to write stories and what not.

Any additional comments?

If your interested in writing give it a go, you'll probably get something valuable out of it.

Intriguing, but Lacking Depth.

Would you try another book from Kyell Gold and/or Kyell Gold?

Oh for sure. I enjoy his writing style. I would love to see his whole catalog on hear.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It was good, but it could have been more engaging.

Could you see Bridges being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I think it would make for an interesting concept. Considering the quality of film and television today, I'd rather not see this work abused by Hollywood.

Any additional comments?

It was good, but it could have been more engaging. The problem with Bridges is simple. I wish there was more of it. More context overall. More depth to the characters. More of the story. Something about it just felt rushed. You can clearly see all of the interesting paths laid out, but they don't seem to go very far. Overall I'd say, if you like Kyell's work, you should pick this one up. While your at it go buy Green Fairy :3

It left me feeling speechless.

What did you like best about this story?

I'm not even sure where to begin with this one. Everything about this story is 10 layers deep. I don't want to say too much, because every detail is just so engrossing. It held my attention from start to finish, and not once did I feel board. As someone who is no stranger to the impending feeling of hopelessness life sometimes brings us, I felt very much for the main character. I was saddened, and even angry on his behalf. My feelings were a direct projection of how he himself felt about the book Confession. This is something I think everyone should read, and I think it could be appreciated but just about anyone. I strongly recommend it.

Which character – as performed by Jay Maxwell – was your favorite?

He did a really good job with all of them. The protagonist was probably best preformed, but I liked mostly all of them.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The whole thing really. It resonated very well with me.

Any additional comments?

What are you waiting for? Buy it already, you will not regret it.

Would you listen to Out of Position (Dev and Lee) again? Why?

Probably, its a good read. I was particularly intrigued by the use of language. There was never really a dull moment in the writing. A lot of novels can be long winded and over descriptive. This strikes that happy balance. Not too over descriptive, not too dull.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It sure did have its moments. A lot of anticipation, a shock or two. And a satisfying ending.

Any additional comments?

I would happily recommend this.
